@NWhiteAuthor @Lorinimus @BenLeighHobson @BramPresser @clairegcoleman @mitch_wright64 @m_riwoe @zbradley_ @julialawrinson @lauraelvery @BishopAlice @GillOshaughness Congrats Neil. @Lorinimus is right about the cover. I’m judging the book by it 😉

@Lorinimus @BenLeighHobson @BramPresser @clairegcoleman @mitch_wright64 @m_riwoe @zbradley_ @julialawrinson @lauraelvery @BishopAlice @angsavage @GillOshaughness Right?!? That was the brilliant Debra Bilson's work.

A whole host of talented Australian writers helped make this day possible. It was their embrace of a simple idea that became 'Minds Went Walking' then 'Into Your Arms.' They graciously welcomed an unknown into their community and helped crack open a door ... 1/3

Thank you Sarah. This feedback sort of makes it all worthwhile.

@wtb_Michael @NurseIngrid2 I believe they’re chomping on the pines in the Fitzroy Gardens 😍

@NurseIngrid2 Yellow tailed black cockies!

Pulled the bike over immediately - the best thing about Melbourne winter is here

Asked what we can bring to reframing the Australian narrative going forward with truth telling, Melissa Lucashenko advises humility and curiosity #MilduraWF2024

The breakthrough for Edenglassie came to Melissa Lucashenko in a dream: that it needed to be a book about love to tell the story of what happened—to contextualise the attempted genocide #MilduraWF2024

The dual timeline in Melissa Lucashenko’s novel Edenglassie was inspired by the mirroring that characterises Aboriginal cosmology and theology #MilduraWF2024

‘Make sure you have an exciting life and then you’ve got something to draw on’ - Julie Janson’s advice to young would-be writers #MilduraWF2024

Julie Janson at #MilduraWF2024 describes her mother bringing pramloads of books home from the #PublicLibrary. She also discovered plays at the library, inspiring her to write for the theatre #LibrariesChangeLives
